Already done it! Check my blog and download the latest v1.6+ (https://banjogames.wordpress.com/2022/02/03/heroquest-2021-icon-pack-for-heroscribe-v1-0/) of my icon pack. :)

Still needs a few tweaks and I haven't included the "fog" for the Death Mist (or the bone pile, which doesn't have an official icon anyway), but everything else is there.

And are instructions included on using this with HeroScribe?

PS: I was able to download it much more easily this time. Thanks!

Cool! I added alternate links that use Dropbox for those unable to use MediaFire. If the links ever go down (who knows what Dropbox may change in their TOS someday about sharing links), let me know.

There are instructions in the package for using this with HeroScribe. If you have a fresh install (either the original version or the "All in One" pack) you can just rename and copy over the relevant objects.xml file that is included in the pack and as long as you also copied over the icons themselves, it should work fine.

If you have a custom HeroScribe setup (i.e added your own or other custom icons, tweaked the objects.xml file, etc.) you will need to install the pack by editing the objects.xml file manually... but if you have such a custom setup you will obviously know how to do that anyway! :)

The SVG icon versions are not needed by HeroScribe; they are for people who want to use InkScape or Photoshop (though my versions don't read vector files) or another graphic program to make HQ maps rather than HeroScribe.

Note that I have also shared this pack with the creator of the very cool hQuestBuilder (online web app for making quests) which lets you make quests in the HQ21 style, and he plans to add the KK and ROTWL expansion icons to that soon too.

...to say the truth I noticed Mediafire downloaded the file even when I was thinking it didn't as it didn't appear in my firefox download list.
I found the zip file 5 times on my hard disk yesterday. So it probably starts the downlaod in background but doesn't show it at all and everytime I pressed the download button it downloaded the file another time.

Another cool thing those icons can be used for is to make tiles for the "Solo HeroQuest" mod, using remake style images for fun. ;)

Looks like the PDF for "Into the Northlands" free quest presents instances of all the new monsters from the Frozen Horror (but not all the special tiles yet).

Does anyone have the Witch Lord icon from THE CRYPT OF PERPETUAL DARKNESS questbook? As png or jpg?

Not high quality... you're right that "New Beginnings" is pretty low quality.
